AI-generated Summary:
Bluetooth LE communication uses the Generic Attribute Protocol (GATT) to enable client-server interactions through profiles composed of one or more services. The server holds profile data in a GATT database, which the client accesses and can receive notifications or indications from. The Bluetooth LE software structure includes a profile framework, GATT database, and API programs that allow user applications to interact with profiles. Services can be SIG adopted or custom-defined to extend functionality beyond standard specifications.
